Put Your Brand on A Custom Tote Bag

These days with the quest to reduce plastic waste retailers are also moving towards reusable bags. You will be hard pressed to find a supermarket or retailer that gives away single use plastic bags anymore. The trend now is well and truly towards reusable tote bags. This presents a great opportunity for businesses to promote their brands through custom tote bags. Supermarkets have them for sale at their checkouts. Other businesses give them to their customers which is both convenient and useful by contributing towards the trend against plastic bags. The best thing is that a custom printed tote bag is such an inexpensive way to promote a brand in the first place.

Types Of Custom Tote Bags

While every custom tote bag can be useful, let’s learn about the different materials with their types and uses.

Non-Woven Bag

Non-woven bags are reusable totes that are known for their durability and eco-friendliness. In some countries, they are called eco-bags. These tote bags can be used for shopping as an alternative to plastics. Although they are not as long-lasting as cloth bags, they are designed to be reused multiple times.
We can find customised tote bags being sold and used by shopping malls, groceries, and markets. Two reasons are because they are cheap and can have customisation options. They are very durable, flexible, and can be wet, which is why they are perfect for shopping bags.

Cotton Bags

Cotton bags are reusable totes that are made of cotton, thus very soft and washable. Compared to a non-woven bag, it is more durable and long-lasting. There are many ways to use them. They are good to bring to school, shopping, given as giveaways, gifts, and freebies.
Cotton bags can have many customisation options as well. Fabric print, iron transfer, tie-dye, and vinyl transfer are some of them. Since they are very customisable and perfect for any outfit or occasion, they are a widely known type of tote bag.

Bamboo Bags

Bamboo tote bags are one of the latest reusable bag trends. They are made of bamboo fibers which make them sustainable, soft, and can withstand heavy loads. Aside from using them as shopping bags, they can also look chic and fashionable.
Bamboo tote bags are also in demand in companies and organisations. Since they look elegant and are very durable, they are perfect giveaways and thank you gifts.

Calico Bags

Calico tote bags are made of unbleached cotton that makes them 100% natural. They are very light compared to cotton bags and also economical. There are also many customisation options for these bags. They are ready for artworks, print screens, and many more branding options.
Calico tote bags are used by supermarkets for their durability and cutting down shopping bag costs.

Canvas Bags

Canvas bags are made of basic weaves and probably one of the most well known customisable tote bags. They can be made of soft cotton and polypropylene that can be dye for different colours. Since they are cotton-based products, they are not eco-friendly.
Customisation options such as transfers, iron-on, screen print, and acrylic painting are possible for these bags. They are also perfect for detailed prints and logos.

Help Change the World

So now that you know there is another way, what are you waiting for? Include paper bags and re-usable bags as part of your marketing. You will help your brand grow whilst doing your part for this great planet that we live on.
